LED's - again

[PCM]

Hello,

A while back I had my headlights and foglight bulbs replaced with Osrams - that made quite a difference.

I also replaced my boot lightbulbs with LEDs which helped too.

Using LED 501's on my front sidelights has also made things brighter.

I used 501 Ring Premium LED 12V W5W Canbus Wedge bulbs.

Q. Has anyone changed their side indicators ( 501? ) or taillights - which are not the same - i.e., different bulbs depending on which tail light?

I replaced the main beam headlights on my 2006 RX 350 with HID conversions from Autobulbs Direct (cost about £95).   The main beam were not very good before but the improvement with the conversion has been very substantial.  The only downside is the short delay while the bulbs warm up before the full brightness develops (not after dipping) but this has not been a problem in practice.  I also replaced the reversing lamps (appalling in standard form) with high intensity LEDs and removed the reflective shields which tend to focus the light form the reversing lamp upwards away from the road which is not helpful.  Again the difference was substantial and I can now see to reverse without having to use the brake lights or flashers as well.   I had to try a few different bulbs before I got good results from Star Canbus error free Ultra bright 7.5W LED (800 lumens) SMD 2835 from eBay.  These are not available now but there are several alternatives listed.  Check dimension to make sure they will fit as they tend to be a bit longer tan the original filament bulbs.

I thought the stop & tail lights on the RX were LED anyway.

Not on the old Gen 1 and 2 RX300's, unfortunately - the gen 2 may have LED high level brake strip (but I haven't had to take mine apart to find out!!)
